Background randomness FTW!! Laughing

It does have a nice effect though!

I need help with something all you GIMPers. In sials first comic he didn't use fire he used a cool smoke/fire technique. Would some one mind telling me how he did that. I spent a few hours trying and could figure it out.

by Alpha Sun Sep 20, 2009 7:08 am

If you could figure it out, then why are you asking?

by DarthPineapple Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:48 am

I think bizzle meant to say ' couldn't'. Razz

What smoke/fire effect? I do a lot of those Razz

.

Was it the thick smoke from burning fires hanging over Cuipernam in the first scene? Or the white smoke/fog on the battlefield? Was it the transition between fire to smoke? Was it the use of a fire brush as a smoke brush?

Sorry, my pictures got messed up and I have to restart.

It's a bandwagon? It's been in use for ages...

>.<

Glass reflection. If you were to look through a window that's light on the inside, from the darkness outside, and the light's hitting it strangely, then there should be some sort of glare and reflection.

Getting it right is really a challenge Razz

. I've made at least ten attempts at it so far.

My computer got messed up and I lost the picture. Dang. And thanks Sial and Alpha.

Now that I reread that, yes it did. Sial.

I'm on my iPod so I'm gonna have to try and describe it to you. It's one of the scenes in your first comic. It's the episode where the speeder gets hit on the bridge and one of the gunners is killed. It is also the one with the picture that got MOC of the month.

by Thunder-blade Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:51 am

*sigh*

That guy must have tons of crap on his scope if he can't even see the circle anymore! Shocked

But really..

Thanks Thunder-blade. I've still got lots to learn.

EDIT:What do you think of this?

Matrix + Star Wars= win

Caption fails though. Razz

by Sialboats Tue Sep 22, 2009 9:25 am

Caption, and crop. The crop on Niner is sloppy, his overall path-out is lacking, and he's too blurry and messy Wink

.

Now below is my first adequate attempt at window glare/reflection. It's really hard making it seem as though your looking through the glass from outer space. Hard camera angle to do :X .

I think it look's great! Very realistic!

by The Jinja Ninja Tue Sep 22, 2009 3:58 pm

I'd show more of the exterior to make it obvious that it's a window. At the moment it just looks like a weird glare.

by Bizzle Tue Sep 22, 2009 4:34 pm

Nice sial. I have to agree with what Jinja said. Add more to the out side structure to make it look like a window and not just a shot with weird glare.

by The Jinja Ninja Tue Sep 22, 2009 6:32 pm

Nothing in the above post was original. "Ditto" would've had the same effect, only I'd have an excuse to add a strike to your profile. Razz
